New Family Additions


I have always for as long as I remember been a cat person.  For some reason I find it hard to bond with dogs.  By all means I will fuss friends canine friends and will not for one minute think of harming a pooch.  But cats are where my loyalties lie.  I remember having cats in the home since being very young and some of my earliest memories include the grey moggy we had when I was little.  

I always feel a house is not a home unless a cat lives there.

I was bought my first Garfield comic when I was about 7 years old.  I remember we were going on holiday and my Dad took me to the newsagent to buy a comic to keep me entertained on the plane and I picked up the only one with a cat on the front.  From that moment on I was a Garfield fan through and through and even now I have an app on my phone where I get a daily Garfield strip!  I am also a fan of I can has cheezburger and the kitty related stuff they come up with.  The cheezburger lingo has now become a second language in my household especially when addressing kitties.

I have led a cat free life since January this year and I have felt a small kitty shaped hole in my life ever since so when MrMc suggested getting a kitten I went on planning mode.  A week later I found myself the proud owner/parent/carer/slave to my two beautiful boys George & Bertie.  They were 8 weeks old and I fell in love the moment I saw them.  Two tabby boys who were abandoned by their mum who were then had reared by a lovely girl from Barnsley called Vicky.  Unfortunately Vicky couldn't keep them and had to find a new home for them, which is where I come in!

The last two weeks have been interesting, the boys spend half of the time playing and stalking each other and the rest of the time snuggling up with us all on the sofa.  They are especially fond of my fluffy throw and love to paw it and snuggle down.  I am enjoying every minute of their development and love watching them play and love the snuggle time they give us, the only thing I am not enjoying is the amount of poo they seem to produce!  I am sure they produce half their bodyweight in poo every day!

Looking forward to lazy winter nights snuggled up on the sofa with the family and the kitties.  Simple pleasures x
